Core Values
Working with Operation Christmas Child to Give
Operation Christmas Child
Shoeboxes go where people may not know Christ and invites them to follow Him. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Wholehearted Discipleship
We collect items for the shoeboxes throughout the year and hold a packing party to fill the boxes. This is a great time to not only bring your family to fellowship, but to hand-pack every box with the love that Jesus gives us to then pass on to others. Each box is packed with a specific age in mind and carefully wrapped.
God’s power at work in every healing journey
Once the boxes are packed and sent to Operation Christmas Child, they ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease. They joy on receiving a box of gifts, along with the ultimate message of hope, brings laughter and smiles.
